Myself I'm more worried about those who are serving Baal in God's name than I am about those who only serve Baal. I don't know if you read the bible much, or just haven't been paying enough attention, but haven't you read how John, Jesus and Paul spoke at times? "You brood of vipers..."...

I think we should consider whether "apostolic succession" is false doctrine, sister. I don't mean to offend, but who appointed Paul as an apostle? It was the living resurrected Lord who called and equipped/gifted him and Paul just began to obey and function in his calling/gifting and gathered...

Just that their way of "explaining" these things might be too much from the natural mind...? The mind of Christ is a spiritual mind. Things just weren't the same with the church after Paul departed, as he warned would happen...wolves in leadership, which speaks to hungry flesh...ambition and...

I'm having trouble processing these days, but it seems that you are missing the "yes but not necessarily yet" of the truth.. "All things HAVE been put under His feet, but we do not yet SEE all things put under His feet." And the last enemy to be defeated is death. I believe this has...

It seems that we are living in a day when God is "remembering" her iniquities. Her sins are being exposed in the harsh light off day in recent years. Both in Catholicism and Protestantism. Scandal after scandal. Both Jesus and John exposed the sins of the religious leaders of Israel of that...

The Son of Man had no where to lay His head.....do you think Jesus was at home in the synagogues and Temple of that day (which were leading up to the righteous wrath that befell them in 70AD)? "Let us therefore go to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach." Not many listened to Him either...

So true, brother. Making me smile, lol. hlo

We must not judge by outward appearance and human sympathies.. Judge/discern by the truth, not by human emotions/attachments and how things "seem" on the surface. Yes, it's getting bad within protestant evangelical churches too (which is why they are increasingly finding things in common with...

The difference is that we are not going about trying to establish our own righteousness but learning to submit to the righteousness of Christ in us, and for His glory, not ours. And also because of the fear of the Lord.....as He is our Father and we are His children.

Amen, I don't disagree, as long as we don't lose sight of the fact that all who believe by faith have been made holy in the inner man and are therefore saved, as long as we remain in Christ and don't fall away. Even an infant one minute old is accepted and rejoiced in as a member of the family...

Who are His sheep? If any try to enter the sheepfold by any other way than the door which is Christ, they do not belong to Him. Church leadership who do that are called thieves and robbers who try to steal the sheep away from Jesus unto themselves and their teachings. See John 10. Mental...

Yes, he was 'saved' first and his obedience proceeded from his faith. And I believe Abraham's offering up of his Isaac was very symbolic for us.

Kind of a two-sided coin with these things though. Abraham had faith but also needed to pass the test and fiery trial/ordeal which tested his faith. Our faith is likewise tested and tried as we go along to see whether we have faith to obey God, and also in a manner of speaking, offer back to...

Trying to serve God and accept Baal at the same time....think that's what this amounts to.

Amen. Even the righteous Jews under the Law still needed the Messiah and His gospel to inherit eternal life.........it was even for them FIRST!

It's the Spirit of Elijah....preparing the way for the coming of the Lord. Must be He is coming soon then. Elijah: "How long will ye halt between two opinions?"

What he is propagating is NOT the gospel but the religion of Babylon. I think transgression has to come to the full in that institution to expose what it really is, and then God will judge it. There seems to be an awful lot of exposing of iniquity and wickedness going on these days.....it's...

Unfortunately you are the one who is religiously certain and dogmatic in the way you approach things Epi. You see no difference between the unsaved so-called righteous and the saved who are righteous. What I see in scripture is that we follow the same pattern as Israel, wilderness journey and...

Psa 37:7-22 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those...

Except that "stubbornness of immature believers who refuse wisdom" isn't what that verse is talking about. Yes, there may be those who are stubborn, but there also may be those who are just not ready for meatier things yet....and also it might be that you are the one who hasn't got all his...
